GEMA PARRENO: Hi, I'm Gema and I use
machine learning to predict whether asteroids
will hit Earth.
I track bank fraud by day and asteroids by night.
Our planet is surrounded by thousands of asteroids
and comets called Near Earth Objects, like this one.
A couple of years ago, NASA issued a challenge
to help them classify all the Near Earth Objects in space
so we can avoid the same fate as the dinosaurs.
- Oh, no.
GEMA PARRENO: I used TensorFlow--
an open source framework developed by Google--
to design a program called Deep Asteroid.
With TensorFlow, Deep Asteroid can
process huge amounts of data.
Deep Asteroid works as a multi-layer process.
The more layers that you have, the more refined
result that you get.
It adds knowledge and better informs scientists.
The good news-- an asteroid is very unlikely to hit Earth,
so we're safe for now.
BILL GUFFEY: Through Street View,
I could explore the world.
And it's just like you're walking up and down the street.
I thought that other artists might enjoy it also,
so I created the virtual paintout.
